Historical Contribution: 1965, Williams-Ashman, Androgens, Nucleic Acid & Protein Synthesis in Male Organs


1965
Williams-Ashman HG. Androgenic Control of Nucleic Acid and Protein Synthesis in Male Accessory Genital Organs. Jour of Cellular and Comp Physiology. 1965. 66;2:111-24.


 

Howard Guy Williams-Ashman, PhD, was an internationally recognized authority on sex hormones and the biochemistry, biosynthesis, regulation and mode of action in both normal reproduction and malignant conditions. Dr. Williams-Ashman trained under Charles Huggins at the University of Chicago. For five years (1964-1969), he served as the Director of the Brady Laboratory for Reproductive Physiology at Johns Hopkins before returning to the University of Chicago. In this manuscript from 1965, Williams-Ashman discusses the reactions between RNA (ribonucleic acid) and protein synthesis in the prostate and seminal vesicle (SV).

Dr. Williams-Ashman starts by highlighting a number of important clinical observations: natural estrogens exert effects at much lower doses than androgens, physiologic actions of estrogens are quicker than those to androgens, sex genotype has little influence of reactivity to androgens and estrogens, and determining target tissues for androgens and estrogens can be challenging. He then reviews the scientific discoveries leading to the current understanding of androgens and development of the prostate and SV. He finishes by summarizing these data, stating:


"…androgenic hormones initiate and maintain the functional differentiation of the prostate gland and seminal vesicles… [through] primary changes in the ribosomal population density and in the levels of template RNA's."

The changes in RNA polymerase activity may be among the first detectable metabolic changes following castration. In addition, although they were not yet discovered, he hypothesized that the androgen receptor would be "proteinaceous" and the resulting discussion between Drs. Williams-Ashman and several leading researchers in the field provides wonderful, historical insight into the understanding of sex hormones, sex hormone receptors and the interplay in extragenital tissues.

  3. Get rid of Cold Sores, unexpected Outbreak and Herpes Virus? then you don't have to keep waiting for treatment when the is a herbal medicine that cure this virus. I was searching online for Herbal Cure for Herpes Virus when I saw a testimony online about Dr. Akintunde and how he cured a lady of HSV1 with his.
    natural herbal medicine and tested Negative and in less than a month she was cured of this virus. So it took me time to believe that this was true, because my family Doctor tried all his best to get rid of this virus in my body system but yet no cure and I suffered from outbreak and Cold Sores always. I had to contact Dr. Akintunde after I have access his website and i had faith in God that I was going to be fine and free of this virus one day. Finally I contacted Dr. Akintunde on his WhatsApp number that I saw on the testimony post online, and after our conversation the Doctor only promise me that I was going to be cured and free of this virus after taking his natural herbal medicine because I was tired of my situation with this virus it was so distracting to my life and whole family. Later Dr. Akintunde send some Herbal medicine to me through UPS courier service, with instructions on how to used this medicine, to my biggest surprise first week of taking my herbal medication I saw great improvement and I still think that it's a dream but this is real, I now test Negative of this virus today and my blood pressure well regulated now, my family doctor after my test was extremely surprise to see my test result change to HSV1 Negative and no more symptoms, cold sores, sores throat and outbreak again. I wish to tell everyone about this, mostly if you have this virus then do yourself good to contact Dr. Akintunde and see what the Lord can do through this Herbal Doctor's medicine in less than a month. 100% free from herpes Virus. I and my family say "thank you" Sir, for helping my life. You are a blessing to this generation and God will reward you richly

  6. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
